Pokemon Unite just got a fresh patch update and we are set to see improvements in the game as the latest cross-platform game gets the ver 1.8.1.6 patch bringing a ton of tweaks along the way. As expected from the previous patches, this one is also a balance patch that aims to make the game as fair as possible. Nine Pokemon have been put into the limelight and were given stat changes for their attack, defense, and HP.
Pokemon Unite Ver.1.8.1.6 Update
Update Details:
- Shop Updates

Sableye now cannot enter stealth if it is left unable to act between the time Shadow Sneak is used and when stealth begins.

We are still expecting the addition of Comfey to be added in the official game and while we're at it, we're also expecting the addition of Zacian (and possibly maybe even Zamazenta) as part of the Pokemon Day 2023 celebration. This information was data mined previously by Twitter user @ElChicoEevee where they also found the logo of Pokemon Day for 2023. Until we get official announcements from The Pokemon Company, everything is still speculation.
These are everything you need to know so far in the latest Pokemon Unite Patch Update for ver 1.8.1.6.
